JIM: Mark Twain, a Grandson of the Shire Two commemorative coins will be struck by U.S. Mint in his honor By JIM Early in 2016, the US Mint will recognize Adair County's favorite Grandson of the Shire by striking two commemorative coins in his honor. The coins, scheduled to be offered for sale by the Mint beginning in mid-January, will consist of a one-dollar face value silver piece struck to the same size, weight, and fineness specifications as the large "cartwheel" dollars minted through the mid-1930s along with a five-dollar face value gold coin. For those who have been in The Shire too short a time to attend and be graduated from the Adair Assimilation Academy, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, the birth name of Mark Twain, was the son of John Marshall Clemens, a young lawyer from Virginia, and Jane Lampton, a native of Adair County and the granddaughter of pioneer settler Colonel William Casey, a Revolutionary war soldier and early settler in the area.
